About The Team/role
We’re looking for a
Site Reliability Engineering Manager
with extensive leadership and observability experience in cloud-based applications. In this role, you will lead, manage, and mentor a team of SREs, define and track metrics related to the company's SLO, SLI, and SLAs, and operationalize incident management, communication, and incident handling. The SRE Manager will be responsible for the availability and performance of all external and internal-facing application endpoints that help drive Checkr’s business. Extensive knowledge of AWS, Kubernetes, and event orchestration is desired. Tooling knowledge with Datadog, PagerDuty, and Atlassian (Jira, Confluence) is highly preferred to identify strategies to improve our full-stack telemetry and monitoring capabilities. Mentoring SREs contributing to observability-related work, as well as to their career development.
The SRE Manager will work cross-functionally with Infrastructure, Platform, and Product Engineering, combining operations work with software engineering principles to assist and contribute to the high availability of Checkr’s systems. You will serve as a partner to our Product Engineering teams to strategize on enhancing their services' performance, scalability, observability, and reliability. We believe every engineering team at Checkr should be responsible for the software they build, and SREs play a critical part in providing the tools, practices, and expertise to make that happen.
We are evolving the SRE team to help meet Checkr’s product-first reliability goals for this year and beyond. Having established a strong foundation--including a containerized microservices architecture (AWS, Kong, Kubernetes, Kafka, MySQL, and MongoDB), CI/CD, full-stack monitoring, structured incident response, and a blameless postmortem culture--we are focused on implementing new capabilities like:
Automating observability and alerting across an ever-changing landscape of microservices Automated Service Reliability Scorecards and Production Readiness Standards Software engineering project work, proposed and driven by individual SRE team members, to remove operational bottlenecks and increase velocity in ways we’ve never considered before
What you’ll do:
Expand and improve our observability and monitoring footprint in line with cost efficiency. Drive and delegate the day-to-day escalations and incidents with on-call engineering teams. Collaborate with other Engineering Managers to define metrics and dashboarding requirements. Ensure stakeholders and partners are informed of incidents and incident trends while working with other departments, such as account managers, legal, and marketing, for outbound communication. Review the work of the SRE team, help them get unblocked, and provide mentoring. Meet with the team and individuals weekly to collaborate and discuss topics related to processes, planning, and goals. Manage and assist the on-call incident commander and owners in resolving production reliability issues, ensuring timely communication, retrospectives, and postmortems are performed and delivered. Participate in design and production reviews for new features, products, or infrastructure. Assist in planning for the growth of Checkr’s infrastructure, reliability/resiliency, and resources.
What we look for:
8+ years working in a relevant role, including 4+ years of technical leadership experience mentoring engineers 4+ years of experience architecting and administrating observability stacks, either managed or self-hosted (e.g., Datadog, New Relic, Prometheus, Elastic Stack/ELK, OpenTelemetry) Experience with operation of containerized microservices running on the public cloud, asynchronous event processing, and databases Knowledge of Linux, Git, and CI/CD pipelines On-call support of highly available production systems Designing and building new tools to automate repetitive tasks, prevent incidents or improve MTTR using programming language such as Python Experience with automation and Infrastructure as Code using tools like Terraform, Terragrunt, or Cloud Formation Understanding of how application components interact and experience contributing to architectural discussions Unwavering commitment to operational security and best practices Ownership: identify problems, propose solutions, and then coach and guide a team to implement them. Connection: motivated to help other teams improve their service reliability and continuous improvement of tooling and services.
What you get:
A fast-paced and collaborative environment Learning and development allowance Competitive compensation and opportunity for advancement 100% medical, dental, and vision coverage Up to 25K reimbursement for fertility, adoption, and parental planning services Flexible PTO policy Monthly wellness stipend, home office stipend
